CEE Summit Of The Vienna Stock Exchange: Privatizations As A Driver Of The Economy And The Capital Market

Date 11/10/2012

Guests of honor included Victor Cionga, CEO of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, Ivan Takev, CEO of the Sofia Stock Exchange, Silvia Davidoiu, Ambassador of Romania to Austria, and Elena Radkova Shekerletova, Ambassador of Bulgaria to Austria, among other financial markets experts from Bulgaria, Romania and Austria.
